Rounds 5&6 of the DF racing UK TT series is to be held at Lincoln RSC. Always a fun venue, always good sailing at Scotland Farm and easy to get to from any UK location.

The online entry is now open and the details are on the event page. Click here for details.

Live in the South East of the UK? Free on the 2nd March? Own a DF95? Then head over to Chipstead and get involved in the racing for the 2024 Invicta Trophyy. Details on the event page.

Entry for the 2024 DF65 Nationals at Gosport opened on Friday morning and there has been much interest in it. Entry is limited to 60 skippers and we are almost two thirds full with 37 entries already sorted and paid up. Looks like it could well be a sellout event so it might be sensible to get yourself over to the event page and stick your entry in before it’s too late.

In accordance with the 2024 AGM timeline the agenda was posted yesterday along with the relevant documents and of course the link to the all important voting form. A

s a member of the DF UK class you have until the 17th February to vote. For all the details please check out the AGM page by clicking here.

Are you a Northern District DF65 skipper? Fancy some great racing at Birkenhead? Free on the 9th March? If you answered yes to just one of those questions please hotfoot it over to the event page where you’ll find all the details of how to get involved in the DF65 ND Champs. Don’t delay it’ll be great practice for the DF65 Nationals in April.

Always a great venue, this time with a UK, if not world first for DF fleet racing. Lots of breeze, plenty of hot tea and one or two beers. Read the story of a weekend in the North by clicking here.

No surprises we got to use the D rig on the DF95 for a whole afternoon today. Turns out it’s quite good fun!

Results below, report will follow early week.

So we stayed dry, there was wind but not too much and we didn’t get to eight races. Well done to all that came and got involved.

Results below.

TT’s 1 & 2 are almost upon us and perhaps it is a good idea if we offer some advice to the skippers. The breeze looks like it will be up on both days so you will need something other than your A plus rig for Saturday and something other than your A rig for Sunday. I’m sure you’ve all spent the first half of this month diligently checking all your rigs, however I’d suggest double checking the smaller ones again and making sure your knots are really tight!

For the Southern skippers remember to bring thermal underwear and your big coat, possibly gloves and a woolly hat.

Forecasts currently suggesting mid to high 20 mph on Saturday and something biblical on Sunday.
